After arriving in the United States, students need to complete their studies step by step. First, they need to complete the undergraduate education in the United States and obtain an undergraduate degree. Then, they need to apply for admission to graduate students in the United States, complete their studies and obtain a master's degree. Students who have completed all courses in colleges and universities in China can apply for credit reduction if they apply for the same major as the domestic school. The transfer points for studying abroad in the United States means that American universities can judge how many credits you can transfer according to the credits you have taken in domestic universities, and the remaining credits can be continued in American universities. Overseas study fees for art students Approximately $17000 - $25000 per year!

Application for Undergraduate Study in American Fine Arts
Application Conditions for Undergraduate Study in Fine Arts
● Upgrading from junior college to undergraduate: transfer credits to American universities, and "directly switch classes" to study in the third or fourth year of their undergraduate courses. The recognition of college credits in the United States is very complicated, and there are not many credits that can be transferred. Even if the credits are recognized, due to the different education systems in China and the United States, there are also great differences in curriculum and teaching materials, and there are also many problems in curriculum convergence.
● Postgraduate program: for preparatory+master program, IELTS requires about 5.5 points.
Fees for studying abroad from art college to undergraduate
● Undergraduate: annual tuition is about 17000 - 25000 dollars
● Postgraduate students: annual tuition is about $25000 - $33000
How can I transfer more credits?
1. Try to continue the major (or related major) learned in your junior college. If you want to transfer your interior design from a junior college to a business major, you will transfer very few credits. Usually, you can only transfer credits from the past year, and you will have to study for three years before you graduate. This is not recommended. If you really want to transfer to another major, you are recommended to apply for transfer in the second year of junior college.
2. A course description is required for the special continuation. The course description is to summarize the contents of the course in words. The content of the course description is critical. In the United States, each school places different emphasis on the learning content of the same major. It is also an important guarantee to transfer more credits by describing their own courses as close as possible to the target university.
3. The level of junior college will also more or less affect the number of transferred credits. For example, one of our junior college graduates from Shanghai Jiaotong University, we transferred almost all of his three years' achievements to the fourth grade of a university with about 100 students.
How many more years of undergraduate education can get a bachelor's degree?
When transferring from a junior college to a second year, one year's credits can generally be transferred to a second year in an American university. When transferring from junior college to another university, one and a half years of credits can be transferred to the third year of American universities. College graduates can generally transfer 2-3 years of credits to study in Grade 3 or Grade 4 of American universities.
